If I were you, in future, I'd use a versioned Build-Depends: to make
sbuild automatically upgrade g++, or at the very least a
Build-Conflicts: on the problematic versions.
Looking through the wanna-build states, every build that's maybe-failed
for this reason is in state Building, not Failed. The builds may not
actually have happened yet, but the buildd maintenance looks reasonable
to me.

I think it's fairly clear that it will still be an issue, and the reason
I brought it up now is that there's no point waiting for builds of
kdebase when the current version clearly isn't going to get into testing
any time soon ... I'm trying to get problems resolved in parallel rather
than in series.
